Adventure Holidays

African adventures can find you mounted on the back of a horse, a camel or an elephant; rafting the rapids of the White Nile or canoeing on the Lower Zambezi; climbing Kilimanjaro or Meru or enjoying some of the best diving in the world. Whilst most of our holidays are arguably an adventure, we have picked out examples here that include a greater element of challenge. Move across the continents to Latin America and the Antarctic, and you can brave Drakes Passage, canoe up the Orinoco Delta or trek to the Kaieteur Falls.

Spend six days exploring the magical region of Lenois Maranhenses in the north east of the country, discovering its white sandy dunes and its blue lagoons. Walk the cobbled streets of Sao Luis and uncover its preserved colonial buildings.

If you have always wanted a holiday on a heavenly tropical beach in its natural state, this is the perfect trip. Whilst the peninsula accommodation is comfortable Banana Island is basic but all the settings are out of this world.

This 10-night itinerary highlights the best of Mexico City and then takes you on one of the world’s greatest railway journeys through the Copper Canyon. See the sights of Mexico City before heading to the wonderfully named city of Chihuahua.
